Food!

Chanced upon Salmon Warrior last week and tried it out of curiosity. Had the Salmon Chirashi Don and Double Salmon Chirashi Don for dinner. Both were generously portioned. The bowls were great and good value for money!

Home-style dishes that hit the spot. I had the chaipoh omelette, peeled cereal prawns, and hotplate tofu—all full of flavour and done right. The cereal prawns were a standout, crispy and fuss-free.

Tried this well-known herbal soup restaurant and it met expectations. Claypot turtle soup and black chicken soup had strong herbal flavor, with tender meat. Homemade prawn roll and jade tofu were good additions to the meal. Worth a visit if you're looking for a nutritious soup and hearty meals!

Hopscotch serves up incredibly creative cocktails, and the staff are fantastic at recommending drinks based on your preferences. With a cozy, relaxed vibe, it's the perfect spot to enjoy unique drinks and unwind.

I really enjoyed my lunch at Seng House! Double Smash Burgers were perfectly crispy and juicy, the Mushroom Pasta was al dente with a sauce that was just right, and the Fried Squid was light and crispy. Good vibes overall, hope to come back soon!

I had the chance to try One Prawn And Co recently, and I was really impressed. The food was spot on – you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The open kitchen is a cool touch, and watching the food being cooked over a wood fire makes it even more special. It’s clear that a lot of thought and attention to detail goes into the preparation. They also have DJ nights on Saturdays, which adds a great vibe to the whole experience. Definitely will be back sometime soon to enjoy more of their amazing food and the lively atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!

I had a great dinner at Market Bistro. I ordered the mid-well ribeye steak, which was tender and full of flavour, along with the wagyu burger royale, which I enjoyed for its juiciness.

The friendly staff recommended the fried baby squid, and I’m glad they did. It was crispy and tasty, especially with the dipping sauce. I rounded off the meal with a rich and satisfying chocolate brownie.

I also took advantage of their wine promo—three glasses for $18. The red, white, and moscato were all excellent choices that paired nicely with my food. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience.

Miraku has been on my must-visit list for quite some time, and my recent omakase experience there truly exceeded my expectations!

The meal began with a refreshing cold appetiser of baby spinach, mushrooms, and anchovies. Followed by a Japanese egg custard with corn purée and clams, which was a lovely introduction to the delightful progression of flavours.

The sushi selection was the highlight of the meal:
1. Aodai (green snapper) and chutoro (medium fatty tuna)
2. Ipoyoii (rainbow snapper) with yuzu kosho
3. Shimaji (amberjack) – its firm texture was simply delightful
4. Zukae akame (lean tuna) with yuzu
5. Sawara (spanish mackerel) – this piece was so tender, it melted in my mouth.
6. Nishin (herring) – this one was flame-torched!
7. Otoro (bluefin tuna) – a classic, my favourite!
8. Murasaki uni (long spike urchin)

Following the sushi, we had a mini maze don featuring tuna belly and salmon roe, and white miso soup.

For dessert, the homemade lychee ice cream was a refreshing finale, perfectly light and sweet. Hojicha tea was served at the end of the meal with the dessert to ensure good digestion.

Chef Steven truly made the experience memorable, taking the time to elaborate on each dish and engage in conversation, making the meal all the more enjoyable. The sushi was exceptional, showcasing fresh ingredients and meticulous preparation.

Hope to come back soon!

I recently dined at Meadesmoore for the first time and was eager to try their renowned dishes. I started with the Chilli Crusted Bone Marrow, which was a new experience for me. The spicy, crisp crust gave way to a buttery, savoury interior. The chilli added a nice kick, and the marrow paired perfectly with the sourdough bread, making for a hearty and flavourful start.

For the main course, I enjoyed the Meadesmoore Cut, a 500g steak cooked to medium rare. It was exceptional—the steak was tender and melted in my mouth. The slightly charred sear on the outside enhanced the flavour, making this dish the highlight of the meal.

The Signature Mac and Cheese was undoubtedly the best I’ve ever had. The casarecce pasta was coated in a rich four-cheese sauce with just a hint of truffle oil. The cheese and truffle flavours were perfectly balanced and not overpowering, making this side incredibly satisfying.

Though I was quite full by the end, I couldn’t resist trying the Tiramisu. I’m glad I did—it was a sweet end to my meal. The dessert was well-soaked in espresso and featured a creamy mascarpone filling, topped with a touch of cocoa. It was a perfect finish to an outstanding dining experience.

Hiryu quickly became one of my favourite restaurants after an exceptional omakase experience I had with them last week!

If I had to describe it, the lunch course menu featured a delightful progression of different flavours, beginning with a comforting chawanmushi.

The 8-course sushi selection was THE highlight:
1. Kijihata (grouper)
2. Kanpachi (amberjack) with chives
3. Akame zuke (tuna)
4. Scallop with kimizu
5. Flame-torched kamasu (barracuda) with mustard seed
6. Bafun uni
7. Kinmeidai (splendid alfonsino) with yuzu kosho
8. Otoro with yamawasabi

The meal continued with a chopped toro hand roll, featuring bluefin tuna belly with spring onion, marinated radish, and sesame. The miso soup was comforting and well-balanced. For dessert, I had a soybean powder with clear jelly to conclude the meal!

The decor of Hiryu is minimal, very IG-worthy! The service was impeccable and sushi was exceptional, with each piece offering a perfect balance of flavour and texture. Additionally, the ingredients were fresh and expertly prepared.

Can’t wait to come back again!

I enjoyed a bowl of scrambled eggs, prawn, and rice at this Hong Kong cafe last week. The eggs were perfectly runny, and the prawns were flavourful, overall a satisfying dish. The cafe has a comfy ambiance with vintage tiles and greenish wooden interior. It's a great place to enjoy comforting food in a relaxed setting.

Had Gunther’s seasonal set lunch here last week! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, which added to the overall experience. I had the smoked toretama egg with seared toro, it had a creamy and buttery texture.

The cold Angel hair pasta with oscietra caviar was a personal favourite, it had delicate flavours of truffle! Their Grilled Wagyu beef sirloin was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was so good, I loved it. Melt-in-your-mouth tender beef. The bordelaise sauce complemented the steak, and the crispy pomme allunette and roasted corn served on the side were a delicious addition.

Ended my meal with a delicious apple tart served with rum & raisin icecream!
